Happy Valentine's Day

The real Love Story was in my post on Sunday about Harry and Mimi. If you missed it you'll be glad you went back to catch it now.
My Darling Husband left me this missive on our bathroom counter. Pretty sweet, huh? On Sunday I gathered the neckties that Henry had dumped on the floor, choose mostly all red ones to make the background for this my 8th Journal Quilt of the year.

A pink tie woven through the other narrow ends of red ties with free motion sewn hearts added

and a spiffy silk (really polyester) handkerchief in the pink fat end of a tie pocket
balanced it out making a "Love Connection" on Valentine's Day.

&&&&&&&&&&&&

Yes, Lisa, Threader, Bee and Cris, you all guessed right! These are the roots of my yam plant after sitting in a glass cup for a few weeks.

The whole thing blooming beautifully!

again, Happy Valentine's Day!

How will you show love to other's and yourself today?
(and of course we do this every day, not just today!)
PS

On Saturday I stopped off in Fairfield on Rockville Road...across the street from an old Victorian we lived in for a year and a half in 1985...

About Lynn Cohen

I started my blog, formerly called "Getting My Feet Wet" in 2007. Then I was posting mainly art quilts and photos of family happenings. In more recent years I started drawing and in 2014 became a regular student in Sketchbook Skool. My art has grown expeditiously since then. Now you will be following along my day to day happenings, as I chronicle them in art journals with ink, colored pencils, watercolor and most recently, Copic markers, which are alcohol based and blend really well. I hope you enjoy the journey with me.

My Art Journal Where I draw nearly daily. You are invited to follow along.

In Loving Memory

Remembering Patty 1940-2013

Patty and I were best friends for 73 years! I loved playing with her as a little girl living across the street from each other, and I loved playing with her as adult women. Neither of us had a sense of direction and we had fun getting lost in nearby towns and laughing trying to find the car that we may have walked by who knows how many times! I miss that laughter and that friendship. Patty was also my best art critic (she loved everything I did and had pieces of it hanging in every room of her home) Thank you Patty.
